' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.MailMan")

' Set the SMTP server.

' Create a new email object
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Email")
set email = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")

' Add an embedded image to the HTML email.

' Embed the GIF image in the email.
